I requested a skin from the user with some pictures I recolored of shiny magic so I could upload journal entries with pictures of shiny eevees all over it, because that's my all time favorite pokemon: The Shiny Eevee.

However, when I tried to upload the entry, the skin failed to work. When I contacted cascade388 about it, I found out that I'm now being accused of being an art theif =/ I'm posting this now to clear this up.

I am Not. an art theif. If I were, and if I idiotically claimed to be able to draw as perfectly and awesomely as shineymagic when I'm watching the artist and have her on my friendlist, then I would have the pics I recolored up here on deviantart right this minute with some sort of author comment claiming that I drew them.

I did not steal the pictures: Stealing is taking another artists' work and claiming it as your own. I left in shineymagic's signature on the pictures I recolored of hers and never distributed the pictures to anyone else, except to cascade388 because I wanted to have the pictures as a skin because I liked them so much. This is the entry that I had wanted the post but had been unable to when deviantart claimed I had to have a premium membership to use the skin.

In the very beginning of it I had put a disclaimer and a plug for Shineymagic's work =/ Nothing in this Journal Entry has changed, except for this addition at the top of the entry.

I'm sorry for any misunderstandings and if I offended you Shineymagic, then I am truly sorry. I'm a huge fan of your artwork and would NEVER claim another person's work as my sole own, especially if it's a recolor- that's just pure bottled idiocy. Especially when the price is offending the creator of artwork I truly and deeply admire.

Sonic the Shapeshifter's Journal Entry Numbah Eight: I'm Still Alive!

**The Shiny Eevee pics used in this Journal Skin are recolors of ShineyMagic's work and I take no claim in drawing them- I just changed all the colors and made them look like my eeveesona. Check out 's work on her page and watch her for more great pokemon pics! (Do it now! She deserves it. Her work is brilliant!)**

A big thank you to for making me this skin!

I'm working on pictures and things and videos and all that good stuffs. Since I haven't updated this journal in FOREVER, I thought I'd go ahead and bring you guys up to date on my affairs!

I'm currently in a new school, and having an absolute blast! I haven't been this happy in years. Seriously! I used to think it was normal to walk around expressionlessly all the time in the halls, to be like ._. unless I was with friends and became happy. Now, I walk around everywhere grinning ^^ And I realize that walking around like ._. is indeed normal...if you're not truly happy. Now, I am truly happy. And I'm tackling life with a vengeance!!!1!
The best thing I've done this year is to join the Anime Club at this new school. I originally only joined because I'd been invited by the club sponsor- who happens to be my art teacher (And my favorite teacher! She rocks! She's really nice and smart and I enjoy talking to her ^^ ) I didn't really know if I knew a lot of animes (At the time I only really knew Kimba, and a smidgen about Naruto. Now I like a lot of animes ^^ Like Wolf's Rain, and When They Cry- which is really creepy and gory despite the cute characters. Liken it to the Happy Tree Friends only with a plotline and a mystery and a lot gorier stuff.) But once I got involved, I loved it! I'm friends with everyone in the anime club!
When the club was starting, my teacher asked me to draw up a poster advertising the club. I drew Shadow the Hedgehog on the bottom left of the poster (cuz SonicX is anime) and a anime-looking random girl on the bottom right of the poster, with a Charizard beside her. Yes, pokemon is anime.
I don't know too many people outside the club all that well... but that's okay because everyone in the club is so friendly! My teachers are all good too ^^ I haven't really got any qualms with any of them. My spanish III teacher is funny and energetic. For once in my life I'm actually good at math! Now I can fall asleep in class and miss all the lectures on how to do things, then wake up at the end of class and copy all the notes and never study and still ace tests with a 100! (It's actually kinda creepy...but way past cool! )
On my report card for the first quarter I got 5 A's, a B, and a C. My grade point average is ridiculously high right now ^^ It's great! I love this school, I wish I could've gone here all through high school.

I also created the anime club's mascot; Serenity, the seven tailed fox! And what was even cooler is when the float competition came in October, the club voted to have a Serenity float! It looked so cool! After we showed off the float in the competition we took turns riding the float down the hallway XDDD We also got a picture of this and it's going in the yearbook xD Brilliant!

With all good news comes some bad news, however; somebody (I have my suspicions who) hacked into my fanfiction dot net account and deleted Of Shapeshifters and Violets. They attempted to keep me from getting back in the account by changing the email to this address

afanofyours (at symbol) hotmail dot com

The person who hacked me and deleted the story left my account up and untouched. It didn't mess with any of the other stories; just deleted the most important one and left the account standing. I think they did this to try and mock me, to torture me, to say "It's gone and now you are NEVER going to get it back."

However, the (insert cuss word here) didn't count on a certain friend of mine who will remain nameless, who got the account back for me. Unfortunately, Of Shapeshifters and Violets could not be as easily regained.

I still have chapters 33 through 51 of the 51+ chapter story, but only patches of chapters between one and 32. If any of you out there copied down my story onto word so you could read it later, or something, please contact me. I am currently searching through a storage device for these crucial chapters, but any little bit helps.

I won't let this S.O.B. break me down; the story WILL be up again, and will draw to a close in the way it was meant to- with a final chapter and epilogue. NOT with a deletion in the middle of the story.

You're gonna be seeing a lot more of my pictures soon! I'm working on a comic and have even begun animating my own pictures to songs! If you want to hit me up for a chat, or have a request for a picture or video, don't hesitate to send me a message! I'm happily open to everyone and everything again.

After my grandmother died shortly before her 89th birthday (see [link] ) and my beloved pet rabbit Katy of 9 and a half years, a month later, I became depressed and withdrew from everyone except one person pretty much, but I won't go into that right now. I still can't go a day without missing them both...but now I'm recovering. I've got the support of friends and now I'm back again, and better than I've been in six long years, with confidence and a loyal heart that beats stronger than ever! And I'm NEVER going to be the sad, hollow person I was, EVER AGAIN!
And that ain't a threat; that's a promise ;D

Look out world, here I come!
